Truman, Churchill Seeking An Answer To Korea | I”

Editor PAGE 8

Business Manager . Saturday, June 7, 1952

WASHINGTON, June 7-—President Truman and Prime Minister Churchill—like Gen. Eisenhower in his press conference—don't know the answer to Korea. 3 But they hope to get one after the ranking British Mission, which leaves from London to-

Ambassador Muccio is en route from here. After those on-the-spot conferences, President Truman and Mr. Churchill will try to

The crisis has been precipitated by American fumbles. These have handed the Reds more propaganda material. They also have strained the American-British on truce terms, which had held the Allied diplomatic line but is now challenged by London critics of the United States and of Mr. Churchill.

Duke's Aussie Stock: Slips

CANBERRA, Australia, June 7—How badly the Duke of Windsor's popularity has sagged in Australia has just beer disclosed by a public

forget that many foreigners cannot appreciate it simply

because they never have seen one.

This week, the first American daily newspaper, with an American editor, starts publishing in Beirut, to circulate in Lebanon and several other Middle Eastern countries. English is spoken widely among educated Middle Easterners, and the publishers are aiming their paper primarily at them, and only secondarily to the Americans who live or work in

the area.

Except for northern Europe and a few other parts of the world, newspapers tend to be orgins of political partigs or other special interests and rarely print straight news as we know it. Even in Latin America, the death of La Prensa and ather suppressions have widened the area of darkness and discouraged the nations which still have a free press. Papers like the new “Daily Star” in Beirut probably never will have large circulation, but their success will encourage the development of free and impartial newspapers by the peoples of other countries, in their own languages.

We wish them well.

Pinay Gets Peppy

HE PINAY government's crackdown on the Commu-

impound most of its water in the early summer, as the high mountain snows melt on the Great Divide. Then in late summer, fall and winter, when the flow over Grand Coulee and the dams downstream is low, Hungry Horse will release its waters to “firm up” their power, This is but another example of how watermaster control of an entire river system can be applied for maximum benefits. % At Kalispell, to use a large block of the Hungry Horse power, Anaconda Mining Co. will build the new aluminum plant authorized last year to increase defense production of this light metal. Other Hungry Horse power will go to Montana Power Co. on the east and to the Pacific Coast power grid on the west. Grand Coulee Dam itself, the world’s largest concrete structure and the central project of the Columbia system, is still a number-one tourist attraction, though it has been operating more than 10 years. It is the world’s largest power producer— nearly two million kilowatts, But it is capable of being made bigger. The site for a third Coulee powerhouse is now being investigated. Grand Coulee has cost about $750 million thus far. That is about what New York City has spent for its water supply system. Yet only one of Grand Coulee’'s 12 water pumps could supply as much water as New York uses every day. These Grand Coulee pumps raise the water from Lake Roosevelt, behind the dam, for-280 feet to an equalizing - reservoir. From this

that what we are building will be for the benefit and enjoyment of the working class, not only of Russia, but of the entire world, is the compensation we receive for our temporary absence from the struggle in the United States. And let no one tell you that we are not on the road to So cialism in the Soviet Union. Let no one say that the workers of Union of Soviet Socialist Republics are not on the road to security, enlightenment and happiness.” And here is some more that he wrote: “In our factory, which is the largest and most modern in Europe, and we have seen them all, there are no pictures of foods and Rockefeller and Mellon. No such parasites, but rather huge pictures of Lenin. Red banners with slogans, ‘Workers of the World Unite’ are draped across the craneways.” And then, “We are watching daily, socialism being taken down from the books on the shelves and put into actual application. Who would not be inspired by such events?’ (From Saturday Evening Post, by Jack Alexander, Aug. 14, 1948.) ... Possibly, as Mr. Taylor says, Walter Reuther is now fighting the Reds. But nevertheless Old Joe Stalin was the same old tyrant back in 1934 when Reuther was praising him to the skies that he is today. Likewise, the Red Comrades in Russia were just as Red in 1934 when Reuther was praising them as they are today when he is fighting them. ~~ It is my own personal opinion that anyone that was that easily fooled about the Reds in 1934 isn’t fit to be appointed dog catcher today

Reuthers’ studies in the Russian universities

before they became so well known in the UAW?.

As for their suffering, I will not deny that, but how about all the beatings and hospital treatments as a result of the UAW-CIO organizing drives? And tell me why it always took five or 10 union members to throw one dissenter out the door or over the fence? Why do the organizers say sign up or else? Why do they have to threaten to get members? Can't they show good enough reasons for joining, or are they just admitting they aren’t as smart as anti-union men?

As for the one cent for PAC, when I was hired I was told either sign for it or we can’t hire you. Are you bigwigs afraid you can’t raise enough voluntarily? Why hasn’t the PAC ever backed anybody who was opposed to the New Deal or the Fair Deal even after FDR stabbed you in the back? Why, in the recent meeting in Indianapolis, were the local leaders told they must support the PAC’s choice or else and each member must voluntarily give one dollar?

I can’t recall saying anything against unions. In fact, as I remember, I said I am for them. What I am against is so many are being led by so few. Like you say, if the members will use their brain instead of their gullibility and throw out the no goods, Reds, power seekers, then organized labor would be much more popular. As for my name. Don’t be silly, Taylor. You have to be in good standing with the union

TO AUSTRALIAN critics it appeared that Mr. McKell was being rewarded for faithful service to the Labor Party with a job that trae ditionally is supposed to be above politics. The late King George is also understood to have questioned the Australian government's nomination of Mr. McKell as his personal representative down under, but yielded to its insistence on his appointment. Since 1947, however, Mr. McKell has overcome most objections to his appointment by becoming a model governor-general. He has also accepted a knighthood—to the great dismay of Labor politicians who frown upon such un-Socialistic trappings as pomp, white ties, tails and titles. Who will next occupy the governor-general’s swank Canberra residence and draw the $22.500 salary and privileges that go with the job as Queen Elizabeth’s personal representative in Australia is a matter for speculation here.

Up to the Queen PRIME MINISTER ROBERT MENZIES, it is believed, will make no nominations for his overnment, and will leave the choice up to the ueen. Whoever gets the job—which is largely a figurehead position—will have restricted powers in Australia similar to those of the Queen in Britain. He can, for example, summon Parliament, dissolve the House of Representatives, and give
